Join Me for the Annual 49th Ward Community Bike Ride!

July 8, 2015

Dear Neighbor,

Enjoy the mid-summer splendor of our neighborhood as we bike through Rogers Park in my7th Annual 49TH WARD COMMUNITY BICYCLE RIDE. The event takes place Sunday morning, July19th, at the 49th Ward Service Office, 7356 N. Greenview (at Jarvis). Registration and breakfast snacks are at 7:30 a.m. and the bike ride kicks off promptly at 8:00 a.m.

For everyone’s safety, we ask that all bike riders be at least 16 years of age.

Traffic Sunday morning is light and the morning air is fresh–the perfect time for a bike ride. We’ll start the day by enjoying a light breakfast snack and then embark on an hour-long bicycle tour of the 49th Ward.

Each year we explore another part of Rogers Park and the 49th Ward. This is the first year that those who don’t have a bike, but would like to join our tour, can take advantage of the Divvy Bike Share program. Simply go to a Divvy Bike station close to your home, rent one of the Divvy bikes and ride over to my office for the tour. For a list of Divvy Bike share stations in the 49th Ward,CLICK HERE.

Our bike tour will pass by a number of the Divvy station sites, so you’ll be able to recharge your bike during the course of our tour.
